I've been watching Michael and Esme for about 5 years now. I'm about Mike's age and his stomping grounds in Edson are much the same ones I used to haunt. He had to put Esme - his four legged co-star - to sleep last week. This is the first time he had to strike out on his own.
During the vid he stopped at an old camp site Esme favoured and my heart just broke. I do that sometimes too. Me and The Niglet will stop in some of old Mort's favourite dawg spots - I dunno why. Maybe I just want to re-live old memories, or just maybe share some kind of weird connection to old, but much loved absent friends. It's a silly thing I suppose.
But Hannah is still young, and she is my new owner now. She gets impatient and eventually drags me away, eager to find her own sacred spots. And all I can do is say good bye to Mort all over again and follow.
